Change to Student Evaluation Form

Starting this academic year, there is a change to the student evaluations. The question regarding student research has been removed from the student evaluation form. Instead, this information now is collected through the preceptor/site evaluation completed by the students.

Under the new evaluation process, students indicate the type of research they are involved in during their rotation. This includes a range of activities, such as conducting literature reviews, developing research questions, contributing to written project protocols, and completing Institutional Review Board (IRB) applications. Other activities like data collection from patient charts, patient interviews and data analysis are also tracked.

By making this shift, we aim to streamline the evaluation process while gathering valuable data on student research projects. This new approach allows us to better track and support student research endeavors effectively.

The revised question is as follows:

What type of project/research activities are you involved in while on rotation? Select all that apply.

• Conducted a literature review

• Developed a research question

• Contributed to a written project protocol

• Completed an Institutional Review Board (IRB) application

• Collected data from patient charts

• Interviewed patients with a pre-defined set of questions

• Surveyed patients on a specific health-care topic

• Selected appropriate data analysis procedures

• Analyzed data

• Prepared a written report from data gathered

• Completed an Institutional Review Board (IRB) application

• Completed an IRB approved project

• Wrote an abstract

• Developed a poster/slide deck based on a project

• Worked in a lab on a bench-top research project

• Medication Utilization Evaluation (MUE)

• Other site-specific quality improvement project that does not involve any of the activities listed above.
